Ursa Major + Topo Design Limited Edition Dopp Kit for Men

Ursa Major has made great strides in their indie, Vermont-based, sustainable, natural men’s skincare line since they started a few years back. They now sell in over 75 stores nationwide (and a few in Europe) including Odin, Orvis and Unis. Now they’ve teamed up with esteemed makers of stylish performance wear, the Colorado based Topo Designs, for a limited edition Dopp Kit for men. For Ursa Major’s part, they’ve included $135 worth of their most popular items—face wash, shave cream, tonic and after-shave balm, inside the kit that in its entirety retails for $125. So basically, save $10 and get a very cool travel kit. Speaking of, the bag part is handmade from 1000d CORDURA® fabric coated with a waterproof pack cloth, a sturdy YKK zipper, and parachute cord hook loop made in the USA (in a LEED-certified building).

You could file this one under holiday gift to get [dad, brother, dude you need to buy a present for], or don’t and buy it for yourself. The guilt-free part’s built into the transaction—5% of the sales will go to part of an initative organized by Orvis and The National Wildlife Federation to help save the endangered winter habitat of the American Bison. The Dopp Kit is available for $125 at shop.ursamajormen.com

Summer tattoo care

Summer is a great time to show some skin, but only if your skin is ready for prime time in the sun. It’s important to remember to apply the sunscreen — yes, we’re being a nudge about this — but if you’ve got some great ink to go with that beach bod you’ve been (endlessly) working on, it’s definitely the time to put it on display.
But it’s important to know the skincare rules for tattoos, too. They’re definitely different when it comes to summer, as any dermatologist will tell you. But many people have no experience at all with dermatologists for this aspect of skincare, so they don’t know what they don’t know. With that in mind, here’s the skinny on skincare for your tattoos now that summer’s here.
